Graph Translation. This is a basic tutorial on how graphs are translated by various terms in the equation. James S Jun 2010. y = x 3 + 3. y = x 3. The “ + 3 ” added to x 3 adds 3 to every point on the graph and thus moves the whole graph upward. This is true of any shape graph.

Graph Translation This is a basic tutorial on how graphs are translated by various terms in the equation James S Jun 2010
y = x3+ 3 y = x3 The “+ 3” added to x3 adds 3 to every point on the graph and thus moves the whole graph upward. This is true of any shape graph
In this equation, there is a horizontal shift due to the – 3 inside the parentheses and a vertical shift due to the + 3 outside the parentheses. y = (x – 3)3+ 3 y = (x)3
The combination of horizontal and vertical is a diagonal shift. y = (x - 3)3+ 3 y = x3
Shape of the curve in not important. y = (x – 3)2+ 3
Shifted right and down y = (x – 3)2– 3
y = (x + 3)2– 3 Shifted left and down
y = ln (x – 3) + 3 Shifted right and up
In any equation in the form: y = (x ± h)c ± k, the “h” inside the parens will shift the graph horizontally, and the “k” outside the parens will shift the graph vertically. + h shifts left, – h shifts right + k shifts upward, – k shifts downward James S Jun 2010
